Soft Tissue Therapy

Soft Tissue Therapy is a treatment that focuses on muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia—the soft tissues of the body. It aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support healing by releasing tension and promoting healthy tissue function.

How Does It Work?

Using various techniques such as Thumper™ massage, manual massage, stretching, and triggerpoint therapy, soft tissue therapy helps:

• Break down scar tissue and adhesions
• Increase blood flow to injured areas
• Relax tight muscles and relieve muscle spasms
• Improve flexibility and range of motion

While Soft Tissue Therapy may look similar to massage, it is not the same as Registered Massage Therapy (RMT).

RMTs provide dedicated therapeutic massage, often focused on relaxation, circulation, and injury rehab. In contrast, chiropractic soft tissue work is focused on addressing specific musculoskeletal issues—especially those linked to joint dysfunction, posture, or nerve irritation.

Benefits of Soft Tissue Therapy

• Reduces muscle pain and stiffness
• Speeds up recovery from injuries
• Enhances overall movement and posture
• Helps manage chronic conditions like tendinitis or plantar fasciitis
